UMNO Secretary-General Datuk Asyraf stated that UMNO has received many applications from former members wishing to rejoin the party, but has not yet received an application from former UMNO Youth Chief Khairy.
Asyraf, during a press conference today (17th) at the UMNO General Assembly media centre, said that UMNO will review the applications based on the decision to establish a Unity House Committee.
"As the UMNO Secretary-General, I can tell everyone that we have indeed received many (rejoining) applications. Let's wait for the party president's summary later today."
Ahmad Zahid, in his speech as party president at the UMNO General Assembly, announced the establishment of the Unity House, allowing members outside the party to return home.
Asyraf said UMNO has not set any conditions for rejoining the party, and that details about the establishment of the Unity House Committee will be announced later.
Khairy was confirmed to have been expelled from UMNO on January 23, 2023, for violating party discipline. On Friday, he attracted attention when he attended the UMNO Youth and General Assembly opening ceremony as an observer.
